Radio Tributes To N.Z. Commander
Y a coincidence, two tributes were simultaneously broadcast the other Sunday night, to WingCommander G. H. N. Ramsbot-tom-Isherwood, the young New
Zealander who won distinction as commander of the R.A.F. unit in Russia. One was broadcast from all ‘stations of the Commercial Broadcasting Service _ network, the
other in the BBC feature "Radio Newsreel." A feature of the ZB tribute was a telephone interview with WingCommander Isherwood’s father, Lionel Isherwood, of Blenheim. Mr. Isherwood told how his son Gynes had worked his way home to England to join the Royal Air Force, with little money, but determined that "if he got anywhere in the world it would be under his own steam." Details of Wing Commander Isherwood’s career were also given, together with extracts from letters written from Russia to friends in New Zealand.
